If Nick had turned up
If we had our kit at kick off.
If we had a penalty.
If I hadn't put the ball in the wrong net.
If Jim had scored that second ....
But that is not the Barely way......so we lost.

We gave a great account of ourselves for 60 minutes against a cool Reunion team but tired legs and a lack of subs caught up with us again.
We started off well with quick passing and neat one twos but Reunion took the lead from a free kick that was planted on the head of their number 12.
Barely reacted quickly with some neat touches involving Tovey Adam and Jim finishing off a great move.
1.1 half time
Straight away in the second half Barely were on the back foot . Reunion recognising the threat moved their number ten up into attack and gave their playmaker the very young number 7 more space to dictate the play.
Batts put Dazza on their number 7 as unfortunately John T had to come off. He was knackered!
Another free kick saw their number 12 about to bury the ball in the back of the net but Batts gave him a nudge...Penalty!
Reunion missed!
Then they scored when a harshly given corner was bundled over the line when Barely had options to clear.
At the other end of the pitch James was upended but....no penalty and straight from the break Gareth spilled a ball and number 12 hungrily buried it. Gareth took a whack so came out of goal Mike taking over. No subs left so Barely had to go for it. We huffed and puffed Adam and Paul Paul Loftusputting themselves in every. 50 50 with gusto.
The icing on the messy cake was Reunions number 11 whipping over a delicious cross Batts tried to take it away from their number 10 only for the lightest of touches allowing the ball to roll in off the post. Great finish ........not.
John T gallantry came on as goalie for last ten minutes as Barely searched for an answer......
The ref gave it and blew up.
Another game of what ifs... But everyone put in a decent shift.
Mom a deserving Paul Loftus with other votes spread throughout the team
